I’m a Virginia based wedding & portrait photographer, wife, and a fur-mom who believes that photographs are a great reminder of happy moments with the people close to our hearts.

Hi, I'm Lyn!

Your wedding day will be a fantastic whirlwind of excitement and pure joy! However, it will be just that–a whirlwind, and in the moment you’ll think, “This is so perfect! I’ll remember everything about this day for the rest of my life,” but ultimately the goal of getting married is to love each other and create new memories together for as long as you live. And, as you and your loved one grow, explore, and transform together, the beauty, perfection, and crazy fun memories of your wedding day will be perfectly kept in a time capsule of unforgettable photographs both set and candid.

And, as you and your loved one grow, explore, and transform together, the beauty, perfection, and crazy fun memories of your wedding day will be perfectly kept in a time capsule of unforgettable photographs both set and candid.

My list of the 8 must-have wedding photos we will take will act as preserved memories  to relive and share for generations.

Bridal Portraits

Weddings are fast-paced and strictly-scheduled, and as a wedding photographer, I feel that bridal portraits are so necessary. I know that providing this time for you to feel gorgeous is an absolute must. Photographing bridal portraits before the wedding allows both you and me to slow down, take our time together, and capture beautiful, classic shots of you that will serve as the perfect focal point at your reception. 

The Wedding Rings

Your wedding rings are a symbol of your unending love for one another–a symbol that will be worn day in and day out for the rest of your lives. While some people might think a photograph of your wedding rings is unnecessary or flashy, as a photographer, I know the importance of capturing images of people/objects as they are in a single moment. Over the years, your rings will endure regular wear and tear, but my detailed shots of your rings allow you to show them off and preserve them in their fresh, new, glistening glory as a constant reminder of everything you felt on the day you said, “I do.”

The Bride & Groom

I love doing this for my clients! Your wedding day will be full of all of the people you both love and cherish, and you will be very busy talking to and including each person in all of the excitement. I will, of course, get some lovely shots during the ceremony and fun candids during the reception, but it is important that you and I set aside time to allow me to get pictures of just the two of you together on this special day. I get to do what I enjoy most and capture exactly how you feel in this moment! It’s our chance to get some really romantic (and fun) shots of the two stars of the day!

Bridesmaids Photos with the Bride

These are absolutely a must-have and are some of my most favorite pictures to take on a wedding day! Bridesmaids are your best friends, your sisters, your roommates, or all three! They’ve got your back, and they love you, and the photos of you together will undoubtedly be some of the most treasured from your wedding day. This is our chance to take advantage of having your girls around you to create some super fun and classic memories from your special day! 

Groomsmen Photos with the Groom

In all of the chaos of planning a wedding, you may not have thought much about snapping groomsmen photos with the groom. It’s the perfect time for the guys to show off their manliness as well as their goofy, fun-loving side. The classic and spirited memories made during this session are just too much fun to miss!

The First Kiss

This! I think every couple should do this! It’s such a special, sweet moment! You’re married! You need to hold that kiss for a couple of extra seconds because you’ll never get this moment back. It also allows me a few more seconds to snap the perfect shot of this perfect moment!

The First Walk Down the Aisle

I KNOW you’re excited! It’s finally official; you’re together forever! But, don’t rush out of the building just yet. Leaving your ceremony for the first time as a married couple while you excitedly walk past all of your enthusiastic guests makes for better, more memorable photos! I’m able to capture everyone’s emotions and interactions much more easily if you’re not rushing past.

Wedding Family Photos

When you think of the phrase “family photo” you might think of a stiffly or awkwardly posed group of people. However, the family photos I will take on your wedding day will be natural, light-hearted, and fun. It’s a way to unite both families and show your gratitude and love towards the people who have supported and lifted you up through your whole lives.Want to work with me?

If you are looking for a photographer that has a great personality, experienced with attention to detail, and is fun to work with, then Lyn is your person! She arrived on time and immediately began to work. She was great at directing everyone on how to pose and had great patience dealing with my chaotic family! She took numerous photos and she was able to send me sneak peaks in less than 24 hours!"

When planning a wedding it is so scary to hire vendors and have all the trust in them that they will do a good job and from the second I met Lyn Waldrop I knew she would have my best interest in mind!"

"Lyn also did an amazing job at capturing our real emotions which I am so grateful for!

She was great at communicating so I wasn’t stressed about how I should dress, and when and where to go. I’m not very comfortable in front of a camera but I’d do another shoot with her any day! She had tons of poses and a plan of what we were doing so I was at ease knowing these pictures would look beautiful."

“Lyn was SO energetic and made the experience so much more fun
